Under the terms of the contract, the services Unisys will be responsible for include desktop operations, business support services, applications support and Internet and e-mail security.

The deal is the second that DIMA has signed with Unisys in the last seven months. In September Unisys was awarded a contract for the provision of biometric solutions and services for DIMA's Border Control initiative. Unisys' offerings include the use of facial recognition and fingerprint scanning technology to authenticate refugees' identity.
